        whether they are police or child protection staff, as demonstrated by 
        their lack of positive connection with the child (not rapport- positive 
        connection), will enhance the validity of the evidence being 
        &quot;collected&quot;. I am wondering about the basis or validity of 
        this belief and also about whether in fact this is more difficult for 
        the child. (i.e. whether&nbsp; the experience of being interviewed is 
        more difficult)</FONT></FONT><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=-1>Any
